Just got my posting order through for Northern Ireland with 5 AAC. After asking around no one seems to know whats out there, after some googling and badgering HIVE i still cant get the information I need, wondering if you guys could help. Just want to know what accomidation is out there, can i use my BT home hub out there, is there anywhere good on the piss? stuff like that would be appreciated, cheers

Well last time I checked the 'Irish Defence Forces' refered to the army of the Republic of Ireland (South of the border) and you'll be stationed north of the border so while geographically (and to some people politically) your post is in the correct section of the site you may want to retry posting this question in another part of Arrse where it'll be answered by members of HM Armed forces or residents of Northern Ireland.

But to answer your question BT home hubs will work (if you have access to a landline). And while I haven't been to Belfast for a few years judging by the recent RIR reception from some segments of the population there's still less then a warm reception for squaddies from some people so choosing your local should be done with care!
